Accounting firms need capital for a variety of reasons – such expansion, staffing and technology – and for many the path forward may be private equity investment. According to recent Accounting Today research, close to half of firms are open to the idea or have already received investment from a private equity firm. However, these decisions are not made lightly, and accounting professionals need to understand the balance between benefits and concerns prior to moving forward.
In this web seminar, Michael Green, Senior Director of Research at Accounting Today will sit down with Tom Koehler, Global Managing Principal at Intapp, to share their perspective on key findings from the research and provide actionable insights on the future of private equity in accounting. Topics discussed will include:
- The current state of capital needs and how firms plan to acquire it
- How private equity investment is viewed and utilized by firms of different types and sizes
- Why accounting firms with PE investment can modernize technology faster
- The challenges experienced by private equity backed accounting firms
- Which areas accounting professionals feel will be most impacted by PE investment
Please join us to learn more about the research and how to navigate the opportunity and hesitation around private equity in accounting.
